Iris Update

[hellison]

Which amounts to... very little. No mention of it at all on any of the news bulletains I watched last night, nor have most of the papers/new websites picked up on it.
There's a very brief spot on the bbc which basically amounts to -
Iris - I never said that!
Hansard - Um, you so did. We recorded it. look, right Here! (about 2/3rds of the way down).
Where she randomly brings up homosexuality in a debate about how to deal with convicted sex offenders and in the next sentance trawls in the Soham killings and Victoria Climbe who, if I recall, was tortured for weeks and eventually murdered by hetrosexual relatives claiming to be Christians.

According to the Tele, which seems to be the only place its been picked up (apart from the Stephen Nolan show, but we Won't Go There) complaints have been sent in to parliament and the assembly here but, they can do Fuck All -

"A Westminster watchdog last night said that a number of complaints have been made about DUP MP Iris Robinson following her controversial comments on homosexuality, but admitted that no action can be taken.
The Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, the body that monitors MPs’ code of conduct, said that despite the complaints about the Strangford MP nothing can be done as “the commissioner’s remit does not cover an MP’s views or opinions”.
The same exemption extends to Stormont "

Which doesn't leave too many options open to get anything actually done. I'm not how much good writing to her would achieve (possibly none) and I'm pretty sure writing to her party wouldn't make a blind bit of difference either.

Bah.

As an unrelated comment, when I see your "arse piglets" Icon, I always hear it to the tune of "Moon River". Which causes its' own problems.

Aaarrrssse Piiiiiiiigleeeeettts, Wiiider Than A Miiiile,

Which is exactly how it's meant to be sung! Hence the icon. Sadly I can no long how it came about (or indeed the rest of teh words, there were more), but it was lj comments, somewhere. I have a strong suspicion Thesme was Involved.

So... Uhm... Are they wider than a mile? :P

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they COULD be. If you fed them a lot. Or lined an array of them up ;)

...a Very Large Piglet Array? Like the scientists use to determine the location and taste of distant galaxies??

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Well. What else would you do with a Very Large Arse Piglet Array?

Or is that one of those questions I really don't want to know the answer to?

[doccy.livejournal.com]

Well as you know, like certain fundamental particles the typical Arse Piglet has a specific "spin" (or "flavour"), that being either "up", "down", "charm", "strangeness", "top", "bottom", or "sweet sweet bacon". If Arse Piglets can be arranged according to their specific spin and weight - then further grouped by height - they will spontaneously whistle the "Match of the Day" theme.

Other than that, the use of a VLAPA is limited to acts both unusual and illegal.

YES! YES! THAT'S RIGHT!

I could think of lots of things to do with a large Arse Piglet Array.

Arse Peeglets happened on my lj a long time ago. Really must tag entries. Perhaps will do this soon.
